Everyone

October- 1 Week Before The Fall Festival

Levi's POV

"So... we're going to the mall, again. For what?" I asked, packing extra money. Thanks to Hanji, I managed to find a part-time job, and we both work there. 

I watched Hanji put on her jacket, wrapping a tan scarf around her neck. Since it's October... well, it's a bit chilly now... "Well, I need certain chemicals for the fireworks, and plus, the dance is... what, next week? We do need to be prepared for that-"

"It's not prom, Hanji." I say, collecting my keys off the counter. "Just dress nicely."

"Ugh... fine..." She walks outside, almost dancing. "But still, we're fine, right?"

"Yeah... just wear that pale yellow dress and those tan leggings. You'll be fine."

"Then... what will you wear?"

Thinking about what my closet has... it's just black pants, white/gray long sleeved shirts, my uniforms, and my hidden stash of cravats. The first time I wore a cravat, Hanji sneaked into my room and took it when I was showering. Oh, I'm still angry about her... my poor, poor cravat... has done nothing...

I shrugged, "Nothing."

"Well... why don't you wear one of those cravats?" My eyes hardened when I stared her. She had this smile, a sly fox on... "What? I know about that hidden stash you have under your bed. Along with those other-"

"Hanji! Stop right there!" Already, I felt my face burning up with embarrassment. I can't believe that she went through my room- especially under my bed! That's all my private stuff, a place where I should keep things hidden...

But still, knowing Hanji... she laughs as she embarrasses me. "Aw... you're so cute..."

"I'm not cute..." I grumbled as we continued on towards the mall.

Hanji pinches my cheek, it stung, but... it made her smile. That sparkling smile... of course she would laugh at me... "Are we gonna start this over?"

I kinda did wanted to start that conversation again... and this time, I wanted to kiss her. No hesitation... I will kiss her. "Maybe..." I say, hoping she wouldn't know my intentions.

"Ugh... you know what? I'm done. I'm not gonna argue with you anymore..." She says, putting her earphones in and mouthing the words to her music.

"Jeez, you're so stubborn..." I mutter, knowing that Hanji's headphones were turned up high and that she would never hear my words. I could say that I loved her, and she would never hear me. That's my Hanji...

Eren's POV

"So... Armin, Mikasa, Annie... you guys are going to the festival next week?" I asked as we were walking towards mall. Annie decided a long time ago to walk with us, since she didn't want to travel with some guys named Reiner and Bertholdt... damn his name was so hard to pronounce.

Armin nodded, "Yeah."

"I rather not be lonely, so I'm going with you guys." Annie says, hesitating to hold hands with Armin. 

Mikasa and I talk about it so many times... after all, Mikasa does talk to Annie a lot. I already know that Armin has a crush on that blonde girl, and Mikasa told me that Annie confesses about her having a crush on Armin. So, we thought that inviting them to the Fall Festival might... well, I don't want to lose my best friend... but if he's happy being near Annie, I would want him to be her boyfriend.

"Okay..." I say, as we walked in silence. There was nothing else to say. But Armin and Annie were chattering away, smiling at each other, never knowing about their secret... so, I leaned over to Mikasa, just whispering. "Hey... since we're all going to the dance later on, and we're going to the mall... what are you and Annie doing?"

She shrugs, "I dunno... probably looking around for accessories and all. You?"

"Eh, maybe look at some clothes for the dance... probably hang out at the bookstore and all."

"Ah, nothing special then..."

"Heh, yeah... not really..." Should I ask Mikasa out to the dance, or should we go there as friends? Ugh! She's just someone who's living with me at home... a friend... but, should I prepare? Just in case if I do want her as my date- ugh... I'm going crazy, aren't I? Man... there's something wrong with me...

*   *   *

Armin's POV

"S-So Annie... as they were talking about the festival... wanna be my date to the dance?" My fingers danced with each other as I spoke. Oh... was she gonna say no? Or would she say yes? The tension of not knowing... it's painful...

But as my hopes rose, Annie smiled at me, seeing that red blush on her cheeks. "Yeah... I'll be your date..."

How hard it was to hold back... "T-Thanks, Annie... I'll be the best date you ever had!"

Annie started to giggle, "You don't have to, Armin..."

"But... I have to-"

"So what? So you can be my boyfriend or something?"

My face grew warm as she said that, giggling softly. "N-Not like that!"

"I understand, Armin... don't worry. You don't have to be if you're not ready... besides, I would love it if you were..."

She wants me to be her boyfriend? Wow... I didn't expect that... not so soon... but, I will be ready. Maybe at the dance? Or at that field trip to the island of the ancient people... I dunno when I should be able to ask her that question... but I feel that... I'm not ready...

"I do want to be your boyfriend, Annie... but, I don't feel-"

She sighs, "Okay... I understand, Armin. I still love you..." At least she understands my feelings... I'm sorry, Annie... I really am...

Erwin's POV

"Maybe... maybe it's not too late to tell her that I love her..." I mutter to myself to the mirror as I combed my lushes eyebrows. "If Levi didn't confess about him loving her and if she said no... I might have a chance. Maybe a chance to win her heart..."

I looked back to my closet, seeing my outfit that I planned on to wear that day when the science club presents their project... the day before the dance. I remember seeing Hanji's fireworks that day... so beautiful... maybe that's when I fell for her...

A black suit, and a dark green tie... wow... maybe I should sign up to be Hanji's roommate when we go to that island in a couple weeks. I can't believe that we have to take the Freshmen as well... supposedly, we're supposed to take Freshmen to show them how to be leaders.

To learn their history, and the past... but, I don't know that place very well... all I know that it was an island that held humans who thought that their world perished... hiding behind walls to protect them from dangers. That's it. 

"Hanji..." I say, trying to be suave. "I want to say something to you... something that I have to admit. Levi... he's not who he seems to be. Trust me. And... I'm the better guy for you."

Behind me, I heard snickering. "Really, Erwin?"

Turning around, I see Miche, coughing behind his mouth to hide his laughter. "I have to prepare when I confess to her."

"And what? I mean, you seen her with Levi. Always laughing, you have no chance with her, understand?"

"No, I'll win her heart. I swear."

Ymir's POV

"Oi, Historia." I called out to my roommate, who was busy going through her closet. "Ypu do remember about the festival next week, right?"

Muffled, I hear her shout. "Yeah? What about it?"

"Wanna go there as my date? One of our first steps to getting married, you know?"

Then, she pops out of her closet, "Sure! Why not?"

I was the fool, smiling weirdly as I hear her words accepting my invitation. "Great. Now, our outfits for the dance. I'm thinking of me, wearing a suit."

"But... isn't that a guys-"

"Historia, I'm a tomboy. You? You're a girly-girl. I can see you, wearing a white dress and pink flowers in your hair. Don't put it up in a low ponytail, understand?"

She smiles and laughs, "Fine. But you get to wear this!" She holds out a small dark pink flower, "Wear this and I'll wear whatever you want me to wear!"

Chuckling, I had to. "Don't worry, I'll find a spot to put that flower." This might be the best day for me... loving Historia...

Marco's POV

Now that we moved in together, we're closer than ever! Oh, when it came to the festival... we've been preparing for it all. Suits that were all matching, and my confession, waiting to be said at the dance. Now, I seen it all. Heh, I guess Jean's bisexual, based on the girls he flirts with, and me. Heh... we're not even boyfriends yet... and I feel that when I or he confesses... we're gonna be madly in love.

"Marco!" He shouts as he collapses onto the sofa. "We have that dance thing... next week, right? During that festival?"

"Uh huh."

"Huh. Okay. Wanna be my date?"

"Yeah." Inside, I just wanted to scream my answers out loud, to express how I truly felt towards him. 

Only a few people knew who I am... a gay lover towards the young boy named Jean. But some don't agree with Jean loving me. Some say that Jean has more feelings towards that girl, Mikasa, but nope! He belongs to me and only me!

"Good... I want you there, as my date."

Reiner's POV

"Bertie..." I whispered into Bertholdt's ear. I remember when we were kids when he was afraid of that guy on Elmo. The one named Bertie. Heh, he's still afraid of him. Works every time when he falls asleep in those weird positions...

His eyes popped open, wide and strained. "Gah!" I could hear his heart beating fast... seeing him hold his heart, panting. Wow... why am I falling in love with this guy? A guy who thought he was straight... falling for Annie, pfft. He should know that I'm the only one who understands him...

"Hah! Oh, Bert, you're so cute when you act like that!"

He stares me down with those killer eyes... instead of stunning me, as he does so with Armin, it infects me with love. "R-Reiner... why-"

"You were sleeping, and we need to prepare for our club activities for the festival, remember?" I asked him, tossing him his dark navy blue shirt and his dark brown pants at him.

"Club activities?"

"Remember?! The sports thing! I have to get dummies for the football tackling thing and you have that stretching yoga, something like that for your height- I'm an idiot! You have the basketball thing."

"Why do I have the basketball thing?"

"Uh, isn't it obvious?" I looked carefully into the mirror, hoping to impress Bertholdt that I'm the guy for him. "Your height. And besides, you're fine. You just gotta play basketball with some other kids. No need for competition." Only for me... I have to win your heart, Bertholdt. Mark my words, I'm gonna show you that I'm the better flirter than any girl.

He chuckles softly... oh, sounded so sweet, music to my ears... honey to my bees... "Yeah... we're gonna go to the dance, right?"

"Yeah. We're going together. Don't worry, I had your dad pick your clothes out."

He smiles, "My dad has a great sense of taste in fashion. Trust me..."

"Don't worry, I saw what he had, you might look... handsome in it..."

Bertholdt smiles again, "Thanks Reiner... you're a great friend..."

A great friend? No... I'll be the best boyfriend. "You're welcome..."

Connie's POV

As expected from Sasha Blouse, she came by with some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. This is it... this is the time where I ask her out to the dance. At first, we were just chattering about it, me joining the cooking club to taste the sweet treats that Sasha makes. Then, she starts helping me by giving me tips... but nothing matches to her cookies.

"Heyo, Connie!" She says as she lays her basket on the table. Thomas and I were watching some action movies on the TV. "Whatcha doing?"

"Watching..." I say, getting off the couch. Thomas knew exactly what we were gonna do... discuss about the cooking club performance on Monday night for the festival.

"Please clean up after yourselves." He teases as we walk into the kitchen.

Leaning against the counter, I looked at her, "So... what are we gonna do?"

From her bag, she pulled out a notepad and starts flipping through the pages. "Well... I want to make an angel cake. Maybe a brownie ice cream cake? Jelly-filled cookies? Or, we can do all of them!"

"That might be a bit much-"

Her light brown eyes grew intense. "Connie, there's at least hundreds of people going to the festival, we need to show an amazing show about our cooking!"

"Alright! You win..."

"Yay! Now, let's start planning about our stall... what will it have?" She goes on and on about the planning... and all I could do was stare at her, she was so cute and adorable... I will forever love her to the end.

Narrator

Will Levi ever confess to Hanji about what he feels towards her?! And how would Hanji react to that?! Where is the trip?! What will happen during the festival? Is Eren ever gonna ask his friend/adoptive sister/probably boyfriend, girlfriend to be his date?! Will Armin kiss Annie and ask her to be his girlfriend?! What is Erwin's plans to destroy the lovable ship?! Will we see Reiner flirt madly to Bertholdt?! Will Connie ever ask Sasha to the dance as his date?!

Tune in next time!!!

My god... I almost ran out of ideas for this chapter... but don't worry, I got it. So, we got this... kinda planned out...

So, we have Connie and Sasha for their baking night, maybe a kiss scene?!

Tuesday, we got... Reiner and Bertholdt's sport night, kinda?

Skip a couple days, and we got Hanji and her science club with her fireworks. And Erwin might be a bad boy, stealing Hanji's heart here... when Levi's away-

And the last night... the dance. I'll try to switch from different couples, but mostly, it's gonna deal with the love triangle. 

Each night will be it's own chapter. And, I have no idea what to do for Ymir and Historia... they seem, already a couple at this point.

For you guys, know where the trip's gonna be? Have fun, waiting for the chapter... which should be... um... 5 chapters or so? 6 maybe to kinda explain the plan/details to our fellow freshmen- cough cough, the 104th Trainee Squad, cough cough.

But yeah, how's it going, guys? Enjoying it so far?

If so, good. I'm loving writing this, it's so cute, stupid jokes about Erwin being the little- sorry, big rat to Levi and his eyebrows being combed every day. Good stuff. Now, prepare yourselves for some Springles moment in the next chapter! Yahoo!
